Separating executives from the daily running of a factory has historically been considered the most efficient way to run a business. However recently this practice has come under more scrutiny, particularly for high tech rapidly evolving businesses.

Many people think one major reason why Boeing had well known poor design problems with their 737Max and other planes is because their executives are in Chicago while the planes are made in other states. Both Tesla and SpaceX are examples of rapidly moving high tech businesses where executives work on the factory floor not in isolated offices. So maybe things are changing.
